The front and rear wipers operate independantly. To make the rear wiper go, push the stalk foward. It should make it wipe 3 times. There is tin, which is crucial, on aircooled vanagons (80-83). On the water cooled ones, not really. No idea on the antenna. Take used antifreeze to your local autoparts store. They should take it. -Craig '85GL turned WESTY BOSTIG in the back '87SUNROOF Syncro
